[quote=FT Diomedes]I support this change, because it makes sense and is a good QOL improvement. With that said, you can carry an extra set of probes. Encouraging people to carry extra probes is probably a pretty worthwhile goal (if you sell probes).





And of course you are all ignoring the most important way in which you can lose probes: when someone blows up your ship!

Sometimes I get the sense that many people want playing Eve to be hard for the sake of being hard. I think the challenge should come primarily from other players, secondarily from the game environment, but never the UI. Arguing against this idea is like adding a rule that you have to sit on thumbtacks while you play chess.




That's basically it, that the loss in this case is NOT due to player action, but an unfortunately common real-world issue. (Regular people being denied working internet because the CEO of xx Monopoly says no repairs, and no competition allowed either).

I support this idea overall. Probes will die or the killer of the exploration ship will collect whatever survives.
